Autozone Interview

Autozone has an interesting beginning. J.R. (Pitt) Hyde’s family was in the wholesale marketing business for years. Beginning withwholesale then JR expanded the business to include retail stores. He recognized the need for customer service and quality products for a fair price in the automotive industry. In 1979 he opened autoshack (which is now autozone) and it is the leading auto parts supplier in the United States. They are a fortune 500 company and the annual sales top 8 billion. Their philosophy has not changed. Provide the customer with knowledge based service, a great product at a fair price and yes “customer satisfaction” is number one.
